I still don’t get it. The P2P, Crypto and Binance have been in operation for years and dollar was never this high until this olodo President decided to float the Naira, and now blaming everything but his useless policy. The gains recorded on naira was not as a result of the clampdown on crypto platforms, but the government has started selling dollars to BDC.

Very true, but in this country, government too like to push propaganda and the people themselves, who don't like to think critically, love to stay in ignorant bliss.

This article is complete junk. Shame on punch newspaper. The author does not even know what he/she is talking about.
Anonymous sources and conjecture littered everywhere.

I understand the government is acting a script to bring down cryptocurrency (whoever is playing that drum no concern me), but let's get serious.

We will NEVER have a consistently strong Nigerian Naira until we become a serious EXPORTING country. Boosting exports is the only sustainable way to strengthen the Naira. Then you can even play around and keep your currency high or low depending on national strategic priorities, like Japan.

Just this morning, Vanguard newspaper is reporting that manufacturers over the course of 1 year, incurred losses of 266billion Naira. So, our production capacities is on the low, meaning exports is weak, and we expect the Naira to be strong, because... Of course, Cardoso is CBN governor.
Dey play!

This blaming of BDCs, "currency speculators", interbank, cryptocurrency exchanges, etc is kindergarten stuff.

Let's get serious as a country.

Gullible Nigerians will never learn!

June is the peak of raining season,there is no remarkable rework of the electrical infrastructure to warrant sudden constant power supply.

It happened in June last year and after Buhari's inauguration in 2015, would continue for a while.

My thoughts exactly

Since Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was sworn in, I've been enjoying 24/7 constant power supply.

If they take it,it won't be up to 5 minutes before they bring it back.

Matter of fact,I'm tired of the light 😂🤣😅

How's the power situation in your area?

Same thing happened when Buhari got elected in 2015. We all thought it was "body language" at the time.

Perhaps has something to do with the rains?

Tinubu And Wike's Impressive Convoy Raises Hopes for Better Governance in Nigeria(Video)

The impressive display of luxury cars may be seen as a symbol of the leadership that Tinubu and Wike could bring to the table, a leadership of class and sophistication.

How does this connect?
Getting carried away as usual and losing focus. SMH

I'll like to make my story short as possible without much introduction tho. And also a lesson parents/ new couples should learn from my ordeal, Pls read to the end.

Alright So I'm the only male born of my parent among 4 girls, i also happen to be the last born at it. my problem started when growing up, cause my parent aged bfr getting a Male child which was my Dad and his parent cravings, I was pampered when growing up such that my parents would never watch me do stressful things, dictate when I go out and who I moved out with (My mum's own was even worse cause when growing up, if I want to go out, she'll always send me back inside) even during secondary school they had to get a school very close to our house. my sisters were only the ones that would go to mum's shop and make sales while mum would either stay with me at home or if I eventually go the shop sef I'll always sit and just watch. Literally, I'll say I was denied the right to be exposed to lotta things and real issues about life.

And cause I was not the sociable type cause I'll literally stay at home, watch movies, eat and my movements limited, I was exposed to pornography and masturbation at a very young age and I battled that bad habit thr my University days (Did I say my Parents also dictated the University I went to cause it was close to our House to and any small riot in school then the next hour they'll come and pick me back home till every thing dies down)

So guys over time, I've grown to be this boring guy who is shy, timid, suffering from low self esteem and can't give vibe even when gisting with my fellow guys, in which most of them just relegate me to this small boy level. Did I also say I've never had a Girlfriend all my life cause the truth is ion always know what to say or how to maintain talking vibe. At first I decide not to care and just always console myself with I was created like that and just continue my boring life, it has now gotten to the point I'm not rated in anything at all, most people just make friends with me cause of what they can gain from me, I'm not even good in anything, I can't speak clearly, I'm kinda literally mentally dumb and ion see me useful for anyone or anything, perhaps maybe God only, No business sense, no work skill or experience, no trade experiences to

I'm currently a Corp member serving and before then I rebelled against my parent cause they wanted to dictate the state I serve which is our state of residence so I go to my ppa from home but I told them No and even got to a fight to my Dad cause of this issue and we din speak for like 2weeks, he eventually called me and we settled. But the issue now is guys I've got less than two months left for my POP for service and you don't expect me to return home useless to my parent house again?? Tho sincerely thr my service year, I din touch my allowee so I've saved up to 270k so far. the issue is ask me what I want to do with the money? I've got no idea, what business sense or idea? Nothing is coming to my head, infact I don't know. The funny thing is, my roommate is exactly my opposite, very outspoken, bold, full of vibe and bring back different female friends each day, this guy is not really financially buoyant but you see girls cook and travel all the way to give him for us to eat. I just wish I was like him, i wish i had the vibe

I'm 24years now and at this age, no idea bout my future, bout life, I can't even relate with people, I'm just so sad, depressed and frustrated. At the moment the only job coming to my head is the military cause I served in a military barrack cause I choose it myself but most of the junior officers are trashing my interest by telling me not to waste my time say I no go survive am with my nature, that military needs tough people and endurance bla bla and on the other hand, my mum is saying Never she'll never allow me join the military not over her dead body and she's bout recruiting my Dad to and Sincerely I'm frustrated and my depression have taken another turn that over the past weeks I've been thinking suicide and it's getting really high, I say I should type this here bfr the worse happen cause if I can't be useful for myself what really is the point living??

Please this advice is to parent and intending parent/couples, pls and pls expose ur children to life, don't over pamper your kids, work on them to make them sociable and outspoken, I swear you'll be doing them a great favour. For me I thought my parent loved me, I thought they were trying to protect me but they've put me in a deep mess I have to face alone and just I pray I get the opportunity to make things right with me

I know exactly what you are going through and let me tell you this, it might feel good to lay the blame on your parents because it really is their parenting style that has brought you to this sorry state.

But here's the trick: don't blame them and don't even bother telling them that you blame them because they'll NEVER EVER understand and that could hurt you even more and drive you further down that depression path.

What I will prescribe is that you find something (ONE thing) that gives you a sense of purpose, whether it's a skill, trade or whatever. If you need to learn it from scratch, it's ok too.

Apply yourself to making a success of it, and put yourself out there, show up everyday. Slowly, you'll find your tribe or your tribe will find you. Don't worry too much about not having friends now, they can be overrated sometimes anyway.

You went through the Nigerian education system, that's requires GRIT; you went through the NYSC, so you cannot say you are not tough. You are letting other people's nonsensical idea of "tough" depress you.

Don't sweat the whole girlfriend thing. Trust me, you don't need that drama right now. Focus on you and on reconfiguring your mindset and everything else will follow.

Better later than never, right?

Goodluck

Now, it's time for denial.
Nigerian politicians!!!

APC was simply waiting for PDP to make it's move and now we know.

If Wike had somehow won the PDP nomination, Jonathan would have been confirmed as the APC candidate in a deal with Tinubu, knowing full well that he can only do one full term as president.
And moreover, Wike would not really stand a chance against Goodluck Jonathan (his political godfather).

Now Atiku has won it, there really is no way for Jonathan to win against an Atiku, and therefore no need for him.

So everybody can now come out and deny that such a plan ever existed. The whole secrecy was deliberate.
